How to reproduce:

1. Place a creaking heart between two correctly aligned pale oak logs.
2. Execute the following command:

   /time set night

3. Wait for the creaking to spawn.
4. Place a sculk sensor next to the creaking.
5. Attack the creaking.

Expected result:

Sculk sensors would be activated upon attacking a natural creaking.

Observed result:

Sculk sensors are not activated upon attacking a natural creaking.
